Remove Object Method

You can use the Remove Object method to remove from memory an object that Siebel VB instantiates in memory. If an object variable does not reference an object, then it contains a value of Nothing. The Remove Object method does not return a value.

Format

Set objectName = Nothing

The following table describes the arguments that you can use with this method.

For example:

If Not objectVar Is Nothing then
   objectVar.Close
Set objectVar = Nothing
End If

Example

The following example adds an activity record when the user adds a contact record in a Siebel application. It presumes that the Contact business component is the parent business component. It instantiates the Action business component, and then uses the Remove Object method to remove this instance from memory after it finishes processing the business component data:

Sub BusComp_WriteRecord

   Dim oBCact as BusComp
   Set oBCact = theApplication.ActiveBusObject.GetBusComp("Action")

   With oBCact
      .NewRecord NewAfter
      .SetFieldValue "Type", "Event"
      .SetFieldValue "Description", "ADDED THRU SVB"
      .SetFieldValue "Done", Format(Now(),"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss")
      .SetFieldValue "Status", "Done"
      .WriteRecord
   End With

      set oBCact = Nothing
End Sub
